Brain Stem
Simplified: It looks like a stalk at the bottom part of your brain that connects the rest of your brain to your spinal cord. Your brainstem sends signals from your brain to the rest of your body. It controls many subconscious body functions, like breathing and maintaining your heart rate along with consciousness, awareness, and movement.
Cerebellum
Simplified: The portion of the brain in the back of the head between the cerebrum and the brain stem. The cerebellum controls balance for walking and standing, and other complex motor functions and Posture.
Cerebrum
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. It controls conscious activities. It also receives signals coming from the ears and eyes. It also helps with reading, speaking, understanding language, and storing memories.
Spinal Cord
It relays impulses between your brain and the rest of the body. Between the vertebrae are spinal nerves that branch off the spinal cord.
